There is no promising treatment of dementia in sight despite the dementia prevalence will triple over the next 25 years. Anti-Abeta mAbs like lecanemab and donanemab are interesting but expensive new treatments but they are only moderately efficacious and only in early stage Alzheimer’s No effect in late stage disease and in other types of dementia. It is furthermore difficult to see how lifelong (expensive) treatment of all such patients could ever be financed. The only future option to handle established dementia is therefore to conduct proper care like May does at her care home, Dagmarsminde, in Denmark. It will furthermore be necessary to establish preventive measures like we plan to do in ElderHubs, which at the same time strongly increases the quality of life for the elderly. Prevention apart from proper care seems to be the only realistic measure for handling this enormous problem to the aging human society. https://lnkd.in/etpxyTvA
»Jeg tror ikke vi skal have vildt mange plejehjem, men have få plejehjem, der er specialiserede til dem, der er meget syge, ligesom her. Og så skal man sørge for, at ældre i øvrigt, der er skrøbelige og syge kan blive boende hjemme, og så kan man hjælpe dem der. Det gør, at man vil kunne satse på mindre steder« Jeg har talt med Seniormonitor om mit og Søren Mouritsens koncept, ElderHub, som vi forventer at realisere i nærmeste fremtid. Tre små selvstændige kopier af Dagmarsminde og 40 seniorboliger, tegnet af Henning Larsen Architects. Vi kigger i øjeblikket på specifikke byggegrunde, hvor vi håber at kunne opføre den første ElderHub.
